subject: Top 3 Tips For Choosing a necklace that's right for you [print this page] When choosing a necklace there are so many things to consider. Do you want it to match yourrings, bracelets and earrings you already own? Or do you want something completely different? We've got the top 3 tips for choosing a necklace that's right for you.
Style and design
When choosing a necklace you need to select a piece that reflects your personal style. You may want something to wear everyday so you might opt for a dainty chain with a pendant. If your style is a bit more bold and stand out, something chunky with beads would be more suitable.
When shopping for your necklace make sure that you consider other jewellery pieces you may want to wear with it and think about how they will look together.
You may want a long necklace which falls to a certain point with a pendant or perhaps a shorter traditional chain would be more suitable.
Once you know if you want edgy or traditional, you need to think about what the necklace comprises of; gold, silver, glass beads or pearls. You may want something totally different to your other jewellery and plan to wear it on its own. Or you may want it to compliment a pair of earrings you have or a ring you like.
It is a good idea to go online and look at a number of styles and designs to see what you like. You can always print out an image of a particular necklace you like or even find that you can buy the perfect necklace you want online.
Is it for an occasion or for every day use
You need to consider when you will be wearing the necklace. If it is an everyday necklace, you will want something that is a little more durable. If you are looking for a statement piece to wear to a wedding or special event, a more delicately constructed necklace would be a good idea.
You should also consider the major colours that you wear to make sure that the necklace does not clash with your clothing, but rather compliments it.
Accentuating the neckline with different styles
Different necklaces can give a completely different look to your outfit. Here are some tips for matching your necklace with what you are wearing.
You can accentuate a v-neck with a pendant or drop pearl pendant on a chain.
When wearing a strapless top or dress it is always suggested that you wear a necklace close to the neck.
A collared shirt looks great with a thicker statement necklace made from pearls or glass beads.
Cleaning and maintenance
Necklaces, earrings anddiamond rings will often become dirty from a built up of perfume and oil from the skin. Make sure that before you put on any jewellery that your moisturiser has soaked into your skin and you have finished applying perfume. It is also a good idea to finish using hair product before putting on your jewellery as all of these can affect the look and longevity of your necklace.
Choosing a necklace that is right for you, or perfect for that special occasion can be difficult. I hope our tips have helped made your shopping for that perfect necklace an easier and more enjoyable experience.
